A rich fraternal history

From humble beginnings, to former prime ministers, there's always more to learn about the Australian Natives' Association's history.

The First Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia was opened at the Melbourne Exhibition Building on the 9th of May 1901 by the Duke of Cornwall and York (later King George V). The ceremony was held at the Exhibition Building as it was the only venue that was large enough to accommodate the 14,000 guests.

Federation's driving force

Having helped define Australia's history, the Australian Natives' Association today seeks to define Australia's future. Join us and help build a better tomorrow.
